Mediatoon to Debut New Nature-Themed Animated Series

PARIS, March 24: At MIPTV,
Mediatoon is presenting Inami,
a new 2-D animated series for kids aged 6 to 10 that addresses environmental
and ecological issues in an entertaining way.

The 26×30-minute series is
co-produced by Ellipsanime and Seahorse Productions. Set in the legendary land
of Amazonia, the series explores environmental issues through the story of
Inami, a little boy in a hurry to grow up. As he takes part in the life of his
tribe, without computers, cell phones or other technology, Inami will have to
listen and learn through the marvels of nature. The series has already sold to
TF1 and RTBF.

“We are delighted to
present a European production which explores some environmental issues in a fun
and attractive way,” said Marie-Pierre Moulinjeune, the deputy general manager
of Mediatoon. “Inami has a
strong international potential and we will be looking for sales at MIPTV this
year.”
